MTA, the source of Evil.

Unbelievable thing happened to us on our way home from IKEA. 42nd street MTA station, as we swipe our MetroCard to get inside of the subway. City's famous NYPD undercover police officer(dressed like a deli guy) stopped us.

Why? I wish I could tell you.
Louis used the gate door entrance,(because he was carrying a huge plant with a pot which we purchased from IKEA) and asked if he is handicapped. Is that really a necessary question to ask? He is carrying a 26 lb. pot with 4 feet tall plant inside of it(please look at the photograph on the right.) It's heavy. Well, wait a minute, that big gate doorway is not only for handicapped people, also for people with suitcases, bikes, and other items, that make it hard for anyone to go through. We placed the card into the slot, and it said "Go Through", so he went through the door. And I used the same card, which is not unlimited(weekly card can be only used every 15 minutes), had $18 credit on it through the turnstile. He asked us, where we're from, how long have we lived ins NY, another undercover officer shows up and he asked us to show him ID and the MetroCard. Of course who will say no to a police officer, we handed them over. They checked it out and it was obvious that card was used.

They were going to charge us $60 fine for using the gate door, because we didn't swipe the card on regular turnstile then, go through the gate door. So how come there is no sign that said, this card slot is only for the handicapped? They told us, "we'll let you go this time." Seriously, I think NYPD is the most rude and obnoxious police force ever, why the attitude? I'm not asking for a nice police officer, just be logical and cool. Sometimes I think they ask that way to press more charge on you. We believe that there is conspiracy behind the MTA & the Blue Wall. Officers must get a commission out of every fine they get out of MTA. MTA trains don't even function right most of the time, only thing they do is rise the subway fair.

What makes me sad is, MTA & NYPD sucks, and there is nothing I can do about it. Oh god, save us. Save us from this evil corporation called MTA. Also NYPD needs some kind of anger management class, I think. I always seems end up meeting the most angry and frustrated ones. Anyhow, you guys definitely ruined my weekend. Thanks, a lot.
